Candy/lolly swap (pictures posted)

Ok everyone it's time I got to actually finish a swap as I haven't had much luck lately, so I'm going to host one. Will leave sign ups open until the 5th Jan (my time, I think I'm ahead of most of you)

I offered this idea in swap ideas 2010 so thought I might put it into action. Going to give till the end of Jan for this one with the last send out date being around 31st. That gives just over 3wks to complete.

I'm going to also list a couple of rules for this as I have noticed a few swaps missing a few people as of late.

1. No Newbies (if you are in the process of completing the newbie swap that is fine)
3. This is open to all international CO&Keepers.
4. When you join please PM me your addy. Once partners are decided you can both exchange addys.
5. DO NOT send out until your partner is also ready to send out. This will hopefully prevent future people not receiving anything in return if their partner suddenly disappears.
6. DO keep in close contact with your partners and in the thread on how you are/aren't going with the swap.
7. If you are going to have to pull out due to any reason please let us know ASAP so that your partner can be repaired with someone else. If this is the case and there is no one spare I will open up the sign up for an extra person to help them out.
8. If your partner has stopped contacting you also let me know ASAP. They will be given 1wk to respond (from the date of me being notified of their absence) before you are officially dropped from the swap. If you do come back (I understand that sometimes we just have no access to the internet) and you are still egar, please let me know and we can work something out from there

I hope these rules don't seem too strict for a swap. They have only been set inplace due to me noticing a lot of swappers missing in action and us never hearing from them again. This isn't fair to the ones who put a lot of effort in.

So now with all the technical stuff out the way who wants some candy goodness?
I was thinking it might be nice to add into this swap different types of candy from where you live but of course you don't have to do this. The rest is up to your lovely imaginations.

Partners:

Rhi - Sug
Laurel - KT
Kitkat - Kira
Gypsie - Meeshell

Oh, this sounds great! I used to have a friend from Scotland and Germany, candy was always the main thing we sent. If anyone has Kinder Eggs near them PLEAASSEE send them my way, I miss those.

Is there a cost limit/guideline for the candy?

I wasn't sure about a cost guideline for the candy. Seeing as it will be hard to set as we are all from different places. The main this I would say is keep it with in your own budget. Don't go too overboard if you can't afford it.

I'd like to participate in this.

Sorry you've had trouble with other swaps Rhibi.

Also, for whomever I get partnered with...please no chocolate, because I can only eat certain types of chocolate.

Ok guys it's still not letting me edit the first post so I'll have to post the partners here.

Normally when I partner up I try and get people in the same country however since this is a candy swap and candy from somewhere new is much more fun I mixed you all up a little. If this means that people may need some extra time to send out due to money restrictions that is fine.

So here they are.

Rhi - Sug
Laurel - KT
Kitkat - Kira
Gypsie - Meeshell

Now Gypsie, meeshell hasn't quite confirmed yet if she is joining this swap. I assume yes as her comment implyed she wanted to join. If she comes back and says no I'm sure we can work a little treat for you Happy
